of police at Nampa Wednesday morning and is now in the city jail

Sheriif Edward A. Smith of Valley county made what promises
to be his first important hall when he arrested John H. Lincoln,
who happened to be in possession of four quarts of what is commonly
known as "Mountain Dew" or moonshine liquor.
Lincoln is a bachelor who lives all by his linesome in a
cabin about four miles southeast of Cascade. The arrest was made
about 11 o'clock Thursday shortly after the sheriff had discovered
the liquor snugly stowed away on Lincoln's sled, and it locks as if
it might be "hard sledd_in " for John for some time to come, as
subsequent developments indicate that the case is one for federal
investi :ration.
Prosecuting Attorney R. B. Ayers has already taken the matter
up with the N. S. district attorney's office at Boise and it is e7pected
that the important developments that aro likely to follow may have
a tendency to clarify and purify the circumambient atmosphere of this
community to some extent.
